FAETO
Belonging to the territory of Arezzo - as confirmed by Emperor Charles
IV in 1356 - this castle, the name of which was probably derived
from the beech trees (faggio in Italian) that must have characterised
its landscape, belonged to the courtyard of the castle of Anciolina.
Only the memory of the ancient castle remains. Nevertheless, attention
is being drawn to it so as to reinstate the framework of the medieval
ordering of the territory. |

|
The church of Santa Maria,
rectangular in design like many in the territory, was located to the
left of the ancient Romanesque church that has now been reduced to
a warehouse.
It is possible to see, razed to the ground, the outline |
 |
| of its apse, while
a large opening has been made in the façade.
A 15th-century panel and a processional cross with engravings are
preserved inside the church. |
